2.When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam,he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs.Kim.By mistake,President Clinton's advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese.Clinton had not been told that,in Korea,wives keep their family names.President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk.Therefore,she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs.Sohn.
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture thinking patterns.His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans,some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names.This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil's parents.They become puzzled about the student's correct last name.Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well.When a woman marries,she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de (of).This affects how they fill in forms in the United States.When requested to fill in a middle name,they generally write the father's family name.But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother.This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations:don't always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name.Remember that in many Asian cultures,the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒).Ask which name a person would prefer to use.If the name is difficult to pronounce,admit it,and ask the person to help you say it correctly.
25.The story of Bill Clinton is used toB.
A.improve US-Korean relations         
B.introduce the topic of the text
C.describe his visit to Korea            
D.tell us how to address a person
26.When a woman marries in Korea,sheA.
A.continues to use her family name       
B.uses her husband's given name
C.shares her husband's family name       
D.adds her husband's given name to hers
27.To address a married woman properly,you'd betterC.
A.use her middle name                 
B.use her husband's first name
C.ask her which name she likes          
D.change the order of her names.

分析 本文讲述了亚洲女性在结婚之后并没有像西方女性一样改变自己的姓,这让西方人感到很困惑.

解答 25.B  推理判断题,根据第一段可知用克林顿总统所犯的这个错误引出本文要讨论的关于已婚女性的姓的话题,这个例子只是起介绍引导的作用,故选B.
26.A  细节理解题,根据 第一段Clinton had not been told that,in Korea,wives keep their family names.可知在韩国女性结婚之后仍然保留自己的姓,故选A.
27.C  细节理解题,根据文章最后一段Ask which name a person would prefer to use.If the name is difficult to pronounce,admit it,and ask the person to help you say it correctly.可知要想适当的称呼别人,就直接问对方,故选C.

点评 考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力.做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.在做推理判断题时不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

12.Helge and Kari Farsund,who live in Oslo,Norway,have been a couple for 50 years. Mr Farsund worrked as an engineer,while his wife was an intensive-care nurse at one point serving with the Red Cross in Rwanda,helping victims of the violent war in that country.Three years ago,a personal tragedy struck,when Mrs Farsund was found to have developed Alzheimer's(老年痴呆).'As the condition became worse,Mr Farsund began looking for a system that could help both of them live as normal a life as possible. He came across the healthcare technology company Abilia,which has come up with just such a network.
At the center\of the system is an iPad-like device. The screen has Skype,which allows carers to regularly check in with patients. It also has a planner for patients or carers to record up-coming events and provides spoken reminders about daily tasks,such as when they need to take medicine.
Some l,000 people now have the system installed in their homes,and 25 of them,including the Farsunds,are testing the latest version,which combines the screen with wirelessly connected sensors. The motion sensors know if you are in the room or open a door,and send out alarms,for instance,if the stove(电炉) is left on for more than 15 minutes or a per.son opens a door in the middle of the night. The second is a particular issue in Oslo,where sub-zero winters mean some Alzheimer's patients are freezing to death.
"With.this kind of system,it allows people to ta ke care of themselves,which is the most important thing,"says vice president Oystein Johnsen. For him,any move to improve city life needs to begin with people."Smart cities are coming and they need to start with individuals in their own home,"he says."It also saves the govemment money. In Norway it cost£100,000 per year to have someone in a home,while this system costs 15,000. That is a lot of money to save."

14.University educators largely think highly of the wonders of teaching through technology.However,critics(41)B whether something is lost when professors and lectures rely too heavily on electronic media or when(42)D with students takes place remotely--in cyberspace (网格空间)(43)C the real space of the classroom.
HansUlrich Gumbrecht,the Professor of Literature at Stanford Universily,is one such critic."I think this enthusiastic and sometimes childish and (44)A pushing toward the more technology the better,the more websites the better teacher,is very dangerous-is indeed (45)B,"he indicates.
However,Gumbrecht warns that there are few studies either supporting or rejecting the hypothesis (假设) that traditional ways of teaching are (46)A to teaching via the Internet.He says that he could point only to his"feeling tliat real classroom presence should be (47)C",and emphasizes the need for educators to examine critically where technology (48)A a useful teaching function and where it does not.
Yet,Gumbrecht allows that,for courses in which knowledge transmission is the only purpose,electronic media probably can do the job well enough.Indeed,as a result of the 20th century's knowledge (49)D and the increasing costs of higher education,using technology for the transmission of information is probably (50)C,he admits.However,knowledge transmission should not be the most important function of the university,he maintains,(51)D that universities should be places where people face open questions,places for"intellectual complexity"and"riskful thinking".
"We are not about finding or transmitting solutions; we are not about recipes; we are not about making intellectual life easy.Challenging complexity is what (52)A your mind.It is something like intellectual gymnaistics.And this is what makes you a suitable member of the society."Moreover,discussions in the physical presence of others can lead to the intellectual (53)B."There's a(an)(54)A change,and you don't know how it happens.Discussions in the physical presence have the capacity of being the(催化別)for such intellectual breakthroughs.The possibility of in-classroom teaching---of letting something happen which cannot happen if you teach by the transmission of'infonnation is its (55)B"
